For years I'd choose this station to fill up my car if its lines weren't too long: They extend onto…read moreFell Street, sometimes for minutes. It can get fractious between drivers in a hurry - it can be theater some afternoons - but with prices rising, I'm back, I'll wait. Tonight I explained to the owner in the booth the last time I filled up there was an error getting correct change. He remembered and gave me a credit tonight. (It helps he knows me by sight, plus I'm honest). To fill up your car and save $8-$14 a tank this is the place to go on the Divisadero corridor nearby 80-E/101-S. No frills, just inexpensive & decent quality fuel. Bring cash, it's the cheapest way. They take debit but they charge $0.35 (maybe it's more now) to use your card and the per gallon prices are a bit higher.

Noticing that Gregory that I know as Greg because after…read morecoming here many times I've connected with him in a great way although what I noticed tonight is, it's not just me. He really puts out great vibes to every customer. It's very impressive. I really think this gas station is especially lucky to have him making people feel so welcomed and warm when getting the least expensive gas that I found in San Francisco. And the other thing that I learned recently about Arco is that they use something that's new to me called top-tier gas, which means it's got this detergent additive that makes it better at cleaning some part of the engine. I mean, I don't really know about what I'm saying because I just learned this idea from AI and of course for all I know it's in accurate and I'd love to know if it's accurate or not but anyway at this point in addition to focusing on saving money on gas, I'm only gonna go with the least expensive top-tier until I learn I learned the wrong thing from AI, Evan Richards, San Francisco organizer.

I've used this quick and effective drive-thru car wash for many years…read more Admittedly, I don't wash my car very frequently; it's why I bought my car in gunmetal grey that doesn't readily show grime. Two things I recommend: Buy a ticket with discounted washes, you'll save about 30%. Second, tip the guys doing the work scrubbing down your rims and putting elbow grease into the pre-wash service. It's the right thing to do and your car will look all the better for it. They give you a dashboard wipe (two if you ask nicely) and cardboard air fresheners if you want them. This Shell station's conveniently located on Geary, across from the San Francisco Baseball Academy (formerly the Bridge Theater).

It features 2 islands, a small shop, and a smog station. Gas was $5.69/ UL Reg. Yes, that's high, but this station is on a major road. I went inside the shop to see if they had cough drops. The young lady (cashier) was very friendly and helpful. The only neg.....I saw a worker, an older man, smoking a cigarette about 30-feet from the gas pumps. I suppose that's safe, but it sets a bad example for safety. Overall, a fair experience here.

The lone person on staff there told us we'd have to come back after noon because there was no one there who could help us at the time. She sounded not a little frustrated. We found that the U-Haul facility across 101 on Bayshore had propane, and since we were in the neighborhood, decided to try getting some there despite their terrible Yelp reviews. To our pleasant surprise, we encountered helpful, friendly service, and were able to get our two tanks filled in a few minutes there.

A 5 star gas station?…read more Ordinarily, stopping at a gas station just to fill up the tank (or for any other reason), is not something worth noting. But this is no ordinary gas station. First, it's kept super clean. Always. From the pumps to the mini mart, there's never any disarray or mess. Second, they play instrumental music. Somehow the simple addition of Beethoven, Bach, or Tchaikovsky turns the very mundane act of pumping gas into something almost refined. Thirdly, I try to stay on top of my car's (her name is Baby) tire pressure. Here, all you have to do is ask an attendant, & they will happily check the air pressure for you. Yes, happily. Is it weird that I actually look forward to coming here? I think Baby does too. 5 stars.

Yes, the Shell station across the way may keep things competitive but years ago it wasn't the case. Prices used to be $0.30, $0.50 more per gallon so I avoided filling up here. No longer: Pumps are new, clean, pricing no longer gouges, the station is shaded by old growth trees. The owner left a note at the fill up to apologize for not stocking hand sanitizer: Somebody kept stealing the dispenser but there's some inside plus a bathroom for customers.* * this might change with COVID restrictions but it's kind they offer facilities if allowed by SF law.

I just got mine done today (Jan 17, 2024) and I think pricing went up a few dollars but not by a lot. Total was $54.95 today. The guys here are usually really quick (no longer than 30 minutes) but I usually come in the mornings so I can't speak for later in the day. Today I actually had 3 other cars in front of me but it still didn't take more than 30 mins. I really appreciate the guy running the smog checks today. He was hustling, running back and fourth when he really don't need to but it's awesome to see him taking his job seriously and wanting to get customers in and out to go about their days. As soon as a customer pulls up, he grabbed a clipboard and ran over to them. When customers were on their phones while sitting in the waiting area, the employee came over to let them know it's ready instead of yelling out their names. Just little things to made it a pleasant experience. Taraval also has a few coffee shops in the area so you could also go hang out somewhere and check back in later!

I guess they have take-out, but you have to provide your own containers. Anyway, I like this station for convenience, as they have 3 entrances, a smog check, & a convenience store. This pumps are basic, can only pay by inserting credit card, but if you care, you can get Safeway points. For large vehicles, you might want to go elsewhere. The only entrance wide enough is adjacent to the sidewalk, must be entered from market street. You will have zero ability to turn around, so pick you pump wisely. The other pump stations require some finagling, even for small cars. The gas is cheaper on the other corner, but much harder to access. One other thing, this doesn't happen on every visit, but the cleaning water was filthy. That said, this is my go-to gas station.
